About Alicia
Alicia Gard is a licensed mental health counselor (LMHC) practicing in Florida with nine years of clinical experience. She focuses on helping people who feel stuck by listening first and tailoring care to each person’s needs. Her work centers on practical changes in thinking and behavior so clients can manage stress, mood, and big life shifts.
Alicia helps people dealing with anxiety, depression, low self-esteem, anger, and impulsivity. She also supports those facing addiction, trauma and abuse, unresolved grief, and compassion fatigue.
Background and approach
Her background includes attention to ADHD and complex concerns that often occur with other issues. Her approach begins by getting to know each person’s story and patterns. She draws from attachment-based ideas to understand how past relationships affect current reactions.
She blends cognitive-behavioral tools to change unhelpful thoughts and dialectical strategies to build emotion regulation skills. Sessions are collaborative and paced to what the client needs. Alicia focuses on small, doable steps that can make daily life easier.
She aims for clear goals and teaches skills clients can practice between sessions. People who prefer a direct but empathetic counselor may find her helpful. She offers video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging.
Sessions use a subscription model that can be canceled at any time, and she provides care in English for people located in Florida.

Online support
How approaches like attachment and ACT work online
Attachment-based work looks at how early relationships shape current patterns. In simple terms, it helps people see why they react a certain way in close relationships and learn new ways to connect or set boundaries. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, focuses on noticing thoughts without getting stuck and choosing actions that match your values. ACT can help with anxiety, mood struggles, and coping with change.Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Alicia will talk with each person about goals, what has or hasn’t helped before, and preferences for skills or insight. Together they decide whether attachment-focused work, ACT, or client-centered talk will best suit the issue at hand, and the plan can change as progress unfolds.
Online sessions offer flexibility for people with busy schedules or limited travel options. Video calls allow face-to-face interaction for skill practice and emotional work. Phone sessions can be a good option when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging support brief check-ins, homework follow-up, or ongoing coaching between sessions. These formats make it easier to fit therapy into work, caregiving, or other daily demands while still working with a licensed professional.
